DEATH FROM A HUMAN BITE.
The Victim Expires After Telling Who
His Assailants Were.
rom the Nelo York Herald

From the Nelo York Herald.
Peter Winkler died in great agony in
Jamaica, l.. l., Tuesday afternoon, of lock-
jaw, resulting from the bite of a man with
whom he had a quarrel on the night of
July 4.
The story is that Winller, in company
with one or two friends, was at the Rapid
Transit station in Jamaica on the evening
mentioned, when he was suddenly assaulted
by Aaron Larkins, Patrick Kennahan and
William Sommers. A fight ensued, III which
Winliler was knocked down and his thumb
terribly bitten, it is thought by Larkins.
Little attention was paid to the wound
until July q, when Winlller went to DR..
Philip Wood, who advised that the thumb
be amputated The injured man refused TO
submit to Il surgical operation. The doctor
treated him for the wound. Last Monday
the pain from the bite was excruciating,
and signs of lockiaw became evident. He
was soon writhing i'll commissions and died
Tuesday afternoon after suffering great
agony.
A few hours before his death Coroner
Benjamin f. Everitt secured sworn state
ment from the dying man, on which he
swOre out warrants for the three men, who
had disappeared. Winkler was a hard
working man, and of peaceablo disposition.
The contrary is true OF his assailants, who
belong to tho loafer element in Jamaica.
Larlins is the toughest member Of the trio,
and is an ex convict. He has a brother who
is an inmate Of a State prison. Sommers
was fireman on the Long Island railroad
and Kennahan is an idle fellow, who spends
much OF his time lounging about the station.

Immediately after the surrender Grant,
NcClernnntl and Wallace We're made ma jor
generals. Grants commission was dated Feb.
IL, and he was Immediately placed in charge
of the military district Of west Tennessee.
Numbers of soldiers were buried OH the
field where they fell Some of their graves are
still to be seen. But Of the enrthworks and
lines Of Notifications at Donelson there Is
scarcely n trace. Even so from the hearts Of
the contestants that day have faded out the
traces Of the lines which separated them.

told Gen. Sherman afterward:
II saw that either side was ready to give up
il the other showed a bold front, and deter
mined to do that very thing"
So the commander became strong and |
serene again, as usual. Instantly there was |
activity. Gen. e. F. Smiths forces Oh the |
right Of the Federal line had not vet |
up. Gen. Smith himself, with long, gray hair,
color bearer by his side, rode along the front
Of his line, a striking, inspiring figure. He
told his men he himself would lea, them, nnd
directed them wien near enough to charge
bayonct on the rife pits The signal was
given, tho column moved forward and was
met by a roar Of musketrv from the rife
pits
Col. Tuttle was in the lend with his Second

then stcadied and went irresistibly Oh. Whcr
within range Of the Confederate nl,lskcts Col.
Tuttlc shouted to his men, "Forward" Then
they made the rattling bayonet Charge. IL
drove the Confe,lerates from their works and
S,uith's men occupied them. In the midst OF
cheers and shouts from the whole division the
Stars and Stripes were planted upon the
works Of Fort Donelson. Tins it was all
over with the Confederate right.
! Over on the Federal right M,Clelnan.'s d.
| vision had been swept from tho ground it oc-
cupicd in the morning. Although Lew Wal
laces men had checked the retreat there and
stopped the sortie, yet the ground held by
!, McCler,,aEd in tho morning l:al not been re-
tul:en. Grant ordered Lew Wallace to letakc
it. As soon rs Gen. Smiths division began to
move, Wallace was to attack toe Thus th,.
Confederates would be engaged on both right
and left. Grant rode down tho river to see
that Smith WIS carrying out tho order on his
side; then he hurried up to the right to watch
Wallaccs mcn.cxecute their command.
At noon it looked us if victory was perchetl
ON the Confederate standard. The Wynn's
Ferry road, which had been occupied by Nc.
ClernaMl, was open for tho Confederate re-
treat. Buckner had accomplished what he
had been ordered to do The time just before
Grant ordered the renewed attack in the af
ternoon had been the golden moment for es
cape. It was lost. Buckncr had halted, wait
ing for his artillery and reserve, to follow hin
O, t of the intwnchments. Pillow had tele
] yraphcl A. s. Johnston: "On the honor OF I
soldier, tho day is ours."
All ut once Gen. Pillow sent Bu.kner wore
to come back and take up his position within
tho works. He could only obey. As he fel
back with his men he mot Gen. Floyd. Floy'
was surprised, and asked what he was about
He ordered Bucller TO stay where he was til
he, Floyd. could see Pillow. Thus thero wa

general, was ordered to cross to tho extrem

So on that Sunday morning. Feb. II. 1S;3.
the Confederate forces surrendered to Grant.
and the story of Fort Donclson was toll
Buckner had good reason to I've in IN u,l-
pleasant frame Of mind that morning. At
midnight the night before council of war
was held between himself and Pillow and
Floyd. Euckner told them his men could not
stand moro than half All hours fighting.
HUNGER, cold and exhaustion had done thci,
work at last. Besides. there was no moro
ammunition. If his lne:, tried to escape
three. quarters Of them must be lost to save
the other quarter. Surrender wa, the only
thing.
Floyd and Pillow said the, would not SUR
render. they would die first. Then Floyd
handed over the supreme command Of tke.
fort to Pillow, who in turn transferred it to
Buckner, who surrendered tho fort. Pillow,
with sumo Of his immediate personal COM
mand, crossed the river upon Il scow and
made good his escape Two small steamers
from up the river came about daylight to the
landing. They took Floyd and some OF his
men up the river. Forrest and his cavalry
escaped on horseback. The two steamers con-
tanned Confederate re-enforcements. who were
dumped out upon shore. Then FlOyd's men
boarded tho boats. The conduct of himself
and Pillow was regarded as unsoldierlv, and
was mace tne suDJocL OF searching MfeStl.
cation from the Confederate government. In
an official letter to the Confederate secretary
| Of war, Pillow thought that, considering the
sacrifices he had made for the Confetleracy.
